Chapter Seventy-Six: Leaving No One
Of course Zhufeng is not stupid, if he returns all the weapons to Zhao Minglun now, sends them money, and lets them go like this, who can guarantee that Zhao Minglun will not take someone to kill him tomorrow, kill all the villagers, and then blame himself, and he will get all the money and land alone?! Of course, it only counts if Zhao Minglun and the others accept a vote now and completely tie them to their own boat.
Zhao Minglun was stunned for a moment, looked at the heavily armed Shouzhou Army and the Northern Han Army, gritted his teeth, and nodded in agreement. To tell the truth, it was not that the thoughts of Yin Zhufeng flashed in his heart. However, he also saw very clearly that this Zhufeng was definitely a ruthless character, and if he dared to hesitate a little tonight, it would be a suspense whether he could see the sun tomorrow!
Zhufeng summoned Yu Chengfeng over, and asked him if there were any notorious landlords, big heroes and the like near him, Yu Chengfeng also knew that there was no possibility of turning back so far, and immediately poured beans into a bamboo tube, and simply told the surrounding "local tyrants" one by one.
When Yu Chengfeng mentioned Xue Cheng, a local tyrant who built a dock fort in Guanwangmu Village, Zhufeng's eyes lit up, slapped his thigh, and said happily: "It's him!" It's better to fight one tiger than several wolves! ”
Zhao Minglun hesitated a little, and interjected: "Xue Cheng has relatives who are officials in Luoyang, and his back is very hard, and I have also been to his dock fort, which is heavily guarded, and outsiders are generally not accepted!" ”
Zhu Feng snorted coldly: "Strict guard?!" There is no castle in the world that can stop our special forces! Let's go, let's go now, it's too late to cheat and open the door! ”
A group of people briefly discussed, and the whole team headed west. Zhu Feng symbolically issued more than a dozen steel knives to Zhao Minglun, and asked a dozen or so Zhou soldiers with swords to open the way in front of him, and his party mixed in the middle of the team.
More than 200 people only lit three torches and went straight to Guanwangmu Village in the west along the slowly uphill road.
In less than half an hour, the group had already arrived at the dock fort located on the south side of a trench two miles east of Guanwangmu Village. The whole dock fort is about 400 meters long every time, more than three meters high, there are corner towers around it, there are lanterns lit on it, and there are rare figures shaking.
Zhao Minglun swaggered to the south gate of Wubao, and the two Zhou soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, slammed the gate with their fists, and the dull sound of "dong dong" immediately shattered the cold silence of the autumn night.
"Who? What for? A loud shout rang out from the wall of the fort above the gate, and a lantern was slowly lowered and hung down in front of them.
"Damn, you don't have long eyes?! Stare your dog's eyes wide and look at the master's military uniform! The master is Zhao Minglun, the captain of the Jiangzhou Army, and the master led the brothers to suppress bandits during the day, and he has been busy until now, and he has not even drunk a bowl of water! Go and call you Master Xue to come over, and say that Zhao Minglun and his brothers are going to spend the night here today! Zhao Minglun roared angrily.
"Master Jun, you wait! The little one is the one who tells the master! Someone on the wall of the fort shouted, only to hear the sound of footsteps in the distance.
Zhu Feng stepped forward, and the steel handle on his waist seemed to rub Zhao Minglun unintentionally. Zhao Minglun's body shook and immediately ordered the two Zhou soldiers to knock on the door again.
Amid the sound of "knock knock", someone inside the fort gate shouted: "Here it is!" Here it comes! ”
After a while, two large red lanterns lit up above the fort gate, and an old man with a white beard stuck out his head and tried to look down at the castle.
Zhao Minglun took a torch in front of him and said loudly: "Old Xue, it's me, Zhao Minglun of the Jiangzhou Army, today I took my brother to suppress bandits around until now, I have no place to live, I want to borrow your castle to live for one night, and go back to Jiangzhou City early tomorrow morning!" ”
Xue Cheng looked at the people in the darkness below, and wondered: "It turned out to be General Zhao!" Disrespectful, disrespectful! However, there are so many of you brothers, we can't accept them! ”
Zhao Minglun immediately opened his mouth and scolded: "Don't fuck me!" Your castle can fit thousands of people! The surname is Xue, everyone is tired and hungry, so don't talk nonsense!
If you don't worry about our brothers, we can leave our weapons outside, and you can send someone to guard outside, and we just need someone to go in!" If you say nothing, our brothers will turn around and leave! However, there is an ugly saying, brother, I want to stack in front of me first, this area is my brother, I am responsible, from tomorrow, in case the Northern Han bandit army attacks here, don't blame the brothers for not being able to take care of it! ”
Xue Cheng hesitated: "Really only stay for one night?" ”
"Just one night! This Guan Wang Mu bird doesn't, how can Jiangzhou City live comfortably and eat happily? Give a happy word, okay? Zhao Minglun said impatiently, with a posture of turning around and leaving immediately.
Xue Cheng glanced at the quiet team of soldiers below, slapped the fort wall at the end, turned his head and ordered: "Come on, go down and open the door to General Zhao!" Ask the generals to leave their weapons outside. ”
With a "squeak", the fort door slowly opened, Zhao Minglun glanced at the winds behind him, and took the lead in throwing his waist knife on the ground.
Zhu Feng waved his hand behind him, and the Northern Han soldiers holding their weapons threw their knives to the ground en masse, but they all clenched their waist knives.
A middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper walked over, pointed at Zhufeng's knife, and motioned for him to take it off.
Zhufeng glared at him angrily and roared: "Lord has fought all his life, and he has never left his sword!" We all left our knives outside, if the Northern Han bandits killed them tonight, wouldn't they give their weapons to the enemy in vain!? ”
"Then, this master, don't be angry, is this okay? Keep your knives, and we will store all the other knives in the fort, and return them to the military masters tomorrow morning, okay? The butler stooped and said.
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, pretending to be embarrassed and made a gesture to the brothers behind him, Hao Shi and they reluctantly threw their knives to the ground one by one, brutally pushed away the butler and the family, and stepped into the castle.
Xue Cheng rushed over and apologized to Zhao Minglun again and again, saying that he had arranged for someone to cook on the fire.
Zhao Minglun nodded and turned his head to look at Zhu Feng.
Zhu Feng asked in a cold voice: "The Xue family is so majestic!" Don't you know that making weapons privately and keeping a family is a big crime in the current dynasty! ”
Zhao Minglun saw Xue Cheng's embarrassed face, and hurriedly said: "This is the Zhudu Lieutenant who just came from Jinzhou, and he has just arrived in the local area. ”
Xue Cheng hurriedly came over and said, "Now the soldiers are in a panic, the villain just wants to protect his family and neighbors." There are only a dozen weapons left over from the previous Jiangzhou Thorn History, and the family members are all surnamed Xue family, only about 30 people, please forgive the generals. ”
The winds were like frost, and they watched the soldiers enter the city, and said no more.
Soon, all the soldiers entered the fort, and a group of family members carried bundles of weapons in and prepared to carry them to the room next to the fort gate.
"Captain Zhao, I'm sorry today, the water is boiling!" Xue Cheng, who had been standing aside with Xiaoxiao, saw a housekeeper coming over and immediately greeted him loudly.
"Do it!" Zhu Feng shouted, pulled out his knife, and put it on Xue Cheng's neck.
Hao Shi, Fu Kang, and Mao Qing immediately burst out, knocked down the soldiers holding weapons, and snatched weapons in their hands. The other Zhou soldiers were at a loss and were stunned.
"Generals, please calm your anger, if you have something to say, the villain will accompany you! Don't move, everyone! Xue Cheng's face changed drastically, and he angrily wanted to dodge the steel knife around his neck, and at the same time shouted to the family members who came around.
As soon as the limelight waved, Hao Shi handed a steel knife to Zhao Minglun.
Zhao Minglun's face was blue and red for a while, and he was like carrying a firewood stick in his hand, and it was very uncomfortable to stand there.
Zhu Feng snorted coldly, Hao Shi and Fu Kang immediately stepped forward, only one step away from Zhao Minglun.
"Brother Xue, I'm sorry!" Zhao Minglun couldn't resist the pressure anymore, held the knife in both hands, and stabbed Xue Cheng into the stomach.
Xue Cheng looked at Zhao Minglun in disbelief and fell to the ground with a bitter roar.
Zhao Minglun, who had killed a person, had red eyes, raised his head and roared angrily: "All men, don't leave any of them, kill them all!" ”
Zhou Bing, who was stunned, all woke up, grabbed the knife on the ground and surrounded several frightened family members around him. Hao Shi and Fu Kang did not stop, and each led a few brothers to rush onto the fortress wall and swept around.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers killed all the forty-three men in the entire castle and began to confiscate their belongings under the leadership of Mao Qing.
